  1. Air Quality and DomesticHeating

  2. IRELAND: A clean airflow …. ….. and limited heavy industry Enterprise by Sector in EU Source: CSO 2012

  3. NOx Annual Mean (2011) SO2 Daily Limit Value (2011) Cadmium Annual Mean (2011)

  4. A different “driver” for Air Quality • 20% Effort Sharing Decision • 16% RES target • 40% RES-E 2050 Energy Roadmap: Cost effective CO2 abatement requires electrification of heating and cooling

  5. Ireland (SEM) Generation Output (Apr 2013) Coal Gas Wind Source: Eirgrid 2013

  6. 2010 2005 Source: Central Statistics Office

  7. Energy Storage is Key Typical Energy Stored per Day

  8. Smart Electrical Thermal Storage • Supply controlled by Supply / Distribution company • Energy service level maintained for consumer • Pilot projects (Ireland (Dublin), UK (Shetland Islands)) underway

  9. Ireland – Electric Vehicle National Charge points • Public charge points • All towns with population of 1500+ • National Plan 1000+ • Approx 650 Installed to date • 90% of major towns and cities covered • Fast Charge points every 60km on interurban routes • Original Plan 30 • Installed approx 40 – plan up to 100 • Home/ Workplace • First 2000 installed free • Over 500 installed to date

  10. A Challenging Future • Collateral benefit of decarbonising electricity is to drive all other emission reductions below current levels • 2050 Roadmap vision of a decarbonised economy can be delivered cost effectively: • Decarbonise electricity, electrify economy • The Challenge for delivery is policy coherence, not absence of technology • Key policy issue is current concept of energy efficiency (1 kWh wind = 1 kWh coal) • Energy Efficiency Directive • Eco-design Directive
